for native represents. we believe you and adults have the skills and talents to build a strong local economy. what we need is investment from the city, and we know that takes a partnership. we have begun partnership with the work force development, and we would like to see your support in order to bring those efforts to fruition. i believe supervisor avalos has a copy of the report he can share with you. thank you very much. [applause] >> i am a private citizen. my comment is probably not very important. several years ago there was talk about the centennial from cleveland school. construction began on the yard for the ceremony, we thought. a month later after they did that they tore up the yard and

again and put oa more concrete. a month or so later they tore up the yard again. what they have finally done now is we do have two children playgrounds, and the building, which i hope is permanent, and the podium is there. i just do not know why all of the cost was spent. on the other hand, the city has saved money, because on persia, which is a thoroughfare, tree- lined, the cleaning day is monday, and it did not clean it any other holiday so they can save money, and i think that is very wonderful. [applause] >> good morning. i have had the great privilege of being a youth leader at out

of sites used center. i serve on the youth advisory board. over the past year we worked on designing the first parklike in excelsior, which we finally got built, thanks to a grant that we wrote. we also work with the excelsior action group, and over spring break we were able to hire 12 high school in turn sought to help finish the designed, and also construct the parkway. it was a really great experience. i got to participate in it. we learned to use all kinds of tools, and it was great to be there on the street interacting with people and spreading the message about the project. i wanted to reiterate a point that has been made today that it is really important to continue funding youth employment and opportunities for work force

development. thank you. [applause] >> i am a resident of visitation valley and i have raised both of my children and excelsior. i'm the executive director of san francisco clean city. we have programs that are actually growing. we recently opened the doors on phoenicia avenue. i believe there are a bunch of groups that have the capacity to create innovative -- innovative solutions to work force development. while i commend the jobs we have for the summer, i would like to draw attention to having jobs in our neighborhood that are neighborhood-serving, not to corporations. being youth centers within the existing program, doing innovative recycling programs come in doing -- it recently supervisor avalos supported us for the mission corridor with young adults. we would like to grow the

programs in our neighborhood with our youth and with adults in our neighborhood. and also infrastructure. all over the city there are one- stops. we do not have that infrastructure in our neighborhood. i would like to bring up mclaren park like other people have. we have a 312 acre park that borders these neighborhoods that is an incredible opportunity that could be supporting programs for young people and adults. we would like to work together with the city to use the public spaces as a way to create opportunities. the bond is a big part of that because $6.5 million for 312 acres. our groups are called saved mclaren park because we have not had the investment from the city and a lot of the infrastructure. we would please like you to revisit that in this upcoming bond. thank you. [applause]

>> we want everyone to give yourselves a hand. i think this was a very productive conversation. everyone stuck to the time and made my job easier. i think you for that as well. i believe it is back to you, mr. mayor. >> thank you. thank you. great job. thank you very much. well, there is a lot of needs out here. obviously i have taken a very detailed notes and listened very carefully. i will continue this, because some people did not have enough time to get their points across, so we welcome additional information and viewpoints that we shared.

you give us a lot to work on, supervisors. i will say this, as i said earlier, we got cut from the state, cuts from the fed. we will have to depend upon ourselves. a lot of you are talking about where the city should make its investments. i also need you to know i will also turn around and ask companies to actually co invest with us. if they make money and create conditions for them to invest in our city, we expect them to work in partnership with us. that is why you see a lot of department's finding innovative ways to work with private companies to make money. whether they protect companies like sales force or twitter, they will make a lot of private investment moneys.

we're trying to turn their attention to our needs in government, as well as the private sector, and investing in neighborhoods. if you can grow in the bayview, third street, they can grow with us. it is always about not just them growing, all of us growing together and to share. that is why we are having this great discussion about shared economy, because we need for sharing. that is the secret, i think, in making better government. where the money is gained, we share it and allow other people to build on the foundation. i just want to share that with you. i will say that we're not going to give up. we're not giving up. that is not going to go away. we just need, at this time, because of that elimination

about redevelopment, you know how i feel about that already. we are through crying. half of the project is private investment. how do we match that? how do we increase more private and best bet in the development so we can get all of the benefits that so many of you have worked so hard for so many years hoping to make sure the design of leland avenue was reflected the in complementing that development. we need to get that done. you have my commitment to work with the supervisors, get that done, and make sure we do not leave a hole in the ground. we want to make sure we recognize karen, because she is child support services with us as well. [applause] she is working really hard to make sure we pay attention to all of our families. you are right. the largest number of families

in these districts. there are a lot of other questions you have about things. we will work with you on those individual areas, but i know that i got the smartest people possible heading up all of our different agencies, and the smartest ones are here today, because they know that just being smart is not good enough. smart means working with the neighborhoods, listening and opening up not only our hands to work hard, but i have department heads that work with their minds. ultimately won hands and minds and hearts. that is what we want. hance, mines, and hearts all working with our neighborhoods. thank you very much for opening up your hearts to san francisco. we will be there with you. thank you very much. [applause] >> thank you, mr. mayor, and

thank you for being here. i want to thank the residents of district 10 and 11 for being here. i want to thank you for your advocacy and great work, advancing our district in neighborhood, your volunteering and street cleaning and providing services for senior coming use, and families and making sure our district is better served by the city and county of san francisco. i am here to fight with you. i want to make sure we can have the best we can for san francisco. we actually have had a lot of flat funding over the years for district 10 and 11. we have done a lot of investments to make sure we can continue to work together, and we want to see those investments bear fruit this year with greater resources coming to the neighborhoods. i actually believe we just cannot expect the government to get efficient. we have to make sure we are getting more revenue for the city and county of san

francisco. i have worked on that over the years. two years ago i put on the ballot measure to raise money for the real-estate transfer tax. it has raised $25 million per year. we helped to passed up by a community partner labour -- partnership to make sure we could pass that legislation. [applause] this year i am looking at closing a loophole on banks when they foreclose on properties. they're not paying the loophole for the real estate transfer tax. we can close that loophole. minimize foreclosures, and bring more revenue to the city and county of san francisco. we're also looking at changing the business tax as well and moving from apparel tax. i want to make sure that as we're doing that, that we are growing supply revenue for the city. taxing the highest, most profitable businesses at a higher rate to bring money to

the city so we can perform the services we need to perform here in this part of san francisco. i want to thank you for being here. i want to work with you in advance in the district. thank you very much. [applause] >> just a second, i get across -- a chance to make closing remarks. i just want to say thank you for being a partner and investing your time in the neighborhood and investing your time in the meeting today. i think one of the key takeaways is you cannot pick apples with your back to the tree. thank you.
